RIP Peanuts...again...

[Ben in LA]

Just got the word that Peanuts at Tempo is no more. Since I never went due to work (I work nights), I have no memories of the place. I'm sure the rest of you do though.

For now it's MJs on Mondays, TGirl Tuesdays at Hamburger Mary's Long Beach (new location!), Transfix at Cobra on Thursdays, and Oxwood on Saturdays.

Dammit Los Angeles...what has happened to the scene?!

[lumberjack]

I think the same thing that happened in Las Vegas and the LV Lounge. It seemed all the girls in both cities used to make the scene at the Lounge or Peanuts in their respective cities. Now alot of those girls have gotten older and don't out as much or have moved on with their lives. The younger girls hit the straight clubs more often than going to the TS featured clubs. When this happens, the male clietele tends to follow. Less girls in the TS clubs = less drink paying patrons = decreasing profit in operating a TS themed evening.

There is truth to this.

[Dino Velvet]

The math works. Stick a fork in it.

[BellaBellucci]

Maybe Peanuts are just out of season.

Seriously though, I'm hearing that the search for a new location has already begun. Be patient!

[Tapatio]

I went last week, connected with a girl I'd met once or twice before- glad I did.

Didn't particularly like hanging out at SM and western, though.

[danthepoetman]

I suppose, Bella, this is not what we're talking about, is it? ;)

[sweetJACKIE]

it was in a bad area


it would not work cause people did not feel safe

[Tapatio]

Here is a view on that intersection from a band it inspired.

I don't know LA well but when I have been I have found it tiresome to navigate the city -is it the case that one club will never been really huge because people are so spread out across LA that most of the time many can't be bothered to drive to wherever it is and then drive all the way back? At least in San Francisco there are a few places not far from each other...

LA is like having cities inside of cities. It's a vast geographical territory. You could always rent out the Cecil Hotel and throw a haunted hotel party. I think the place is held together with cum and blood.

The fact LA IS spread out is why I love the city.

[Idt20082008"]

I'm still somewhat baffled about why we don't have more places to go here in SoCal, especially now that Peanuts is closing again. I've read the theories on here and they all seem to have legs somewhat, however it doesn't seem like NY shares in these issues? Now I haven't actually been to NY so I am just going what I read on here and the party updates I see, but there seems to be a thriving TG scene/community in NY. I always thought we had the same thing out here, but there seems to be a big discrepancy between the two cities?

[nevada64]

Damn! So sorry to hear this news. I was planning on going there this week. I had been to Tempo several times, but not their Peanuts night. Peanuts in W. Hollywood was great in it's day.

Regarding the area of Santa Monica Blvd. & Western Ave. I live a mile from there and it isn't a bad area of town. Many people are afraid, because it is a lower socio-economic area with a lot of immigrants. It really isn't that bad. A little grit is good for us all.

[Ben in LA]

There might NEVER be another Peanuts at Club 7969 that's better than the original. We've tried (and Cobra 1.0 came close), but no bueno so far.

[nevada64]

You may be right Ben. However I have faith in the near future.

If you want some grit let me tell you about a club we go to that's in an area of NYC which could be described in the same way.

Lucho's club is in Queens, which is part of NYC proper but outside of Manhattan...it's right next to a main drag called Roosevelt ave. that has an overhead train, which gives it an even darker (and noisier) feel. Latin immigrants from Mexico and all over Central and South America come to the area when they immigrate (legally or otherwise).

Lucho's is basically a gay club but it's always been TG friendly. They don't have TG nights per se, it just seems to be the popular place where trans girls go to see, be seen, and hook up. A lot of these girls escort and on some nights it's as if most of Queens Backpage is there partying.

Many girls who dance at the clubs in Manhattan ultimately end up at Lucho's, since a lot of them also live in the vicinity. In general, these girls escort on the DL, meaning you won't find them on BP or anyplace else. But you can hook up with them at the Manhattan parties ($$$) or at Lucho's ($).

https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/p480x480/1506802_10200454197032106_52331681_n.jpg

Lucho's does have a small stage for drag shows and birthday celebrations which sometimes are good, but they don't have TG's dancing on poles or anything like that although I wish that they would. Of course the girls hit us up all the time for drinks but we've instituted a "drink and kink" rule, which basically means a girl gyrates on your lap when you buy her one.

Check out this pic to get the general feel...I call it "Walker and Chaser".

[christianxxx]

getting a TS club going is quite easy. Buddy Wood could do in less than 2 months. You simply have to get the girls to go and the guys follow. Give the girls an incentive to show up - no cover, free drink ticket, not allowing cops in, etc and they will come. It's really not that hard to do.

Advertising on backpage, eros, and other places girls and their admirers look at on the internet also helps. Getting girls to tweet to their followers about specific places and times.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to open up a neighborhood bar/club that's TS friendly and try to make it work. Maybe one day....

Agreed. And everywhere you turn in LA- any Hollywood (N, W, regular), any LA (E, W, SC), the industrial sections from Culver heading south- there are these incredibly beautiful gardens and yards.

We have oases wild with tropicals and water features; there are desert landscapes of rock, sand and succulents. My favorite are the grandmas who go all out and still have a riot of blooms today, just days from the December solstice.

Any block, any community.

And for me it isn't the people. I just find it particularly bleak at that specific corner (worse at St. Andrews.)

Never felt like it isn't "safe" there, but I'm the wrong person to comment on that. I generally feel comfortable wherever.

[Tapatio]

Blah, blah, blah.

So more to the point: still nothing on a Friday night in LA?

[ladude]

Also sorry to here this we need buddy to the rescue he ran a very successful club in the valley did a great job. (Club management destroyed that place) buddy is the man and a hell of a nice guy. Hope to see a new place pop up soon

[btmmale4toptg]

I hate to sound like a broken record but as long as these "TS Clubs" are dominated by "Working Girls" as they are today, the scene will continue to die.

The reason the original Peanuts aka 7969, and Cobra 1.0 were so successful and fun was (and I've hung out at both), you could talk to the girls, have fun, hang out, get drunk, have a good time and maybe actually find a "girlfriend" or get lucky. Sure, there were working girls there too, but it wasn't like it is now.

Now, it's all focused predominantly around girls who are all about business. Sure you could fill up a club with a bunch of working girls and the creepy tricks follow, but it drives away girls who don't work as escorts, and the regular guys who aren't looking for prostitutes.

Makes for a pretty boring scene if you ask me and the main reason why these clubs are dying.

No more scene, everyone stay home watching tv and girls baking cookies for Santa.

Friday bump.

[kj312]

Anything new yet?

[Ben in LA]

No news to report; sorry.

[kj312]

Still nothing on a friday?

[robertlouis]

Well....

[dunksnrice]

hahahha ok...so which straight clubs do all the girls go to on a friday night?! god damn..

[Tapatio]

hahahha ok...so which straight clubs do all the girls go to on a friday night?! god damn..

On any given night Avalon is a decent bet.

Never seen a lot of girls there at once randomly, but I went with my ex and her friends all the time.

[dunksnrice]

yeah, but if i go to avalon its to get loved up, and nothing good ever happens then. guess we'll just have to wait

[Tapatio]

yeah, but if i go to avalon its to get loved up, and nothing good ever happens then.

Just a thought: you may be doing it wrong.

I feel you on the Friday night thing.

I just want to hang out, and I don't want to wait until Saturday.

I'm sure as hell not driving to Long Beach or the Valley.

[kj312]

Anything yet?

[Tapatio]

Still nothing?

COME ON!

[kj312]

Anything new yet?

[kj312]

[kj312]

Is Oxwood on Friday's now? I had heard that.

[Ben in LA]

Is Oxwood on Friday's now? I had heard that.

Yup, but since I work I haven't been there yet.

[kj312]

Still nothing? How has Cobra been?

[kj312]

Anyone atleast been to oxwood or Cobra lately. I haven't been going as much because I haven't seen many girls there.

[bzzzay]

Hey KJ. Never been to Cobra, thinking about checking it out. Do they have any kind of a lap dance area? Or is it strictly a regular club that has ts nights?

[kj312]

Cobra is more of a bar. They usually have a couple girls dancing but no lap dances. There used to be lots of people.

[kj312]

Anything new yet for Friday?

[kj312]

Still nothing? How has Blow Fridays been?

[natina]

No on Robertson in West Hollywood.
The Penthouse is on and piping.

[natina]

No ,on Robertson in West Hollywood.
The Penthouse is on and popping.

Saturdays​

[crutsinger]

Could someone please update the LA days and locations? It used to be easy to know where to go on what nights. Thanks.

[kj312]

It's lacking. Cobra on Thursdays and Hamburger Mary's on the first Saturday of the month. Club Nirvana in Beverly Hills was doing Fridays but they stopped. I am not sure if they are going to start again. I also read something about something in studio city on occasional Fridays.

[crutsinger]

Thanks, things used to be set by night and venue. If they ever get back to a regular schedule please post it here for us. Thanks,

[crutsinger]

Any updates for what nights to go where in LA? Thanks,

[kj312]

I saw some ad for Hamburger Mary's on a Friday night starting in July. So far it seems like they are not advertising very much for it.

[kj312]

It sounds like it will be one Saturday a month starting in July at Hamburger Mary's weho.

[kj312]

Next Friday there is a party at Club Tempo. Hamburger Mary's weho is the third Saturday of the month starting July.

[crutsinger]

Man did LA jump on the elevator and hit the down button and keep going down to the sub-basement? There used to be a party someplace in LA nearly every night and now it this every other week BS? You can't convince me that there is not ample interest in these events to support a different party every night at some different location every night of the week.

More and more girls are just going to straight clubs.

[crutsinger]

More and more girls are just going to straight clubs. I've heard this as well but in a city the size of LA having various nights at different places around town still would be well supported.

[kj312]

Sounds like the club tempo thing will be every friday.

[crutsinger]

Why not every Tuesday at Hamburger Mary's?

[livepersona]

I seen a flyer for Club Ripples in Long Beach. They are starting a night every 2nd Saturday on the month. Maybe promising considering how popular Mary's can be.

[natina]

No more club Nirvana in Beverly Hills CA

[crutsinger]

No more club Nirvana in Beverly Hills CA These places last a few weeks then BOOM. Gone.....sad stuff.

[crutsinger]

I'll be in LA from Saturday, 7/28 until Thursday, 8/2......will there be any parties or events going on during that time frame? I'll be back in LA in September too..... thanks.

[kj312]

Looks like there is an event at Hamburger Mary's weho tonight.

[KCBob4TS]

Looks like there is an event at Hamburger Mary's weho tonight.

In KC?

[kj312]

In KC?

Is KC Kansas City? If so, no it's in California.

[KCBob4TS]

There's one here too. After going to their site I see there is more than one.

Anything new in LA?

[golffool]

Any news on a club having a TS night like Cobra had on Thursday

[kj312]

Anybody heard where transfix is going to be? Anybody gone out in weho lately?

I'm hoping that Transfix comes back soon!!

[Jackal]

So where in LA were Palms and Peanuts?

[kj312]

They were both on Santa Monica Boulevard in weho.

[Post Op Preferred]

I can do without Peanuts and never liked the Palm, but the closure of Yukon Mining Company has left a large hole in my heart. The food was terrible, the ambiance cheesy, the lighting prison ward-like, but the scene was incredible, especially the parking lot.1317727

[golffool]

Those were the days - remember some great night at Yukon that I will never forget. I do hope a new place open soon.

Nice so that will be a Wednesday thing?

[golffool]

Is there going to be a place on Wednesday and Thursday now??

[John Jed]

Thanks for the good news!

[golffool]

Should be a very busy night next Thursday at Cobra

[Post Op Preferred]

The parking lot at Yukon Mining Company was epic. Lots of hookers and chasers mingling and more, and on one tragic Saturday night, March 17, 2003, the legendary T-porn star Sylvia Boots gunned down Laura Ornelos while trying to kill another T Girl, Tanya Amador

[kj312]

Does anybody know if there are any rules? Do you need to wear a mask? Make a reservation?

[golffool]

I don't think mask will be required. Just show up and have fun - should be a very busy night

Any more info on the reopening of Club Cobra Transfix?

[kj312]

On facebook there is a transfix Hollywood at El cid 2nd Saturday of every month. Is that in addition to Thursdays at Cobra?

[kj312]

$15 cover and $11 beer? What kind of inflation is this? I believe it was $10 cover and $6 before covid.

[danoblue]

At the Burbank/Vineland N Hollywood club last night I paid $10 cover. I don’t drink and a club soda was $3.

It was a mostly a young crowd and most of the girls were in transition and beautiful. I’m a CD and older. I was also by myself. The other places I frequent there are more CDs and older girls.

If I had a girlfriend with me I probably would have enjoyed it more.

I did see Jane Marie who I’m a big fan.

It was loud too but most clubs are I think.

I’m glad this club was able to reopen for the trans community.

[kj312]

I think you went to Cobra. That's what I was talking about. It sounds like I was overcharged.

[Jackal]

This was pre-covid...but at Cobra on Transfix Thursday, there was actually no cover if you arrived early. Granted, there were either few to no ladies there early except the bartenders or go go dancers who were just arriving but I thought it was always cool to be there early and chat with them (saved a few bucks). Not sure if it's the same deal at Club Cobra.

[John Jed]

Yes, kj312, there will be a bimonthly event at El Cid. Aubrey or the DJ also made an announcement about it last night at Cobra.

[greg1521]

I also attended Cobra this past Thursday. I paid $15 cover charge and mixed drinks were $15 each (ouch). The part I hated the most is you could only pay by credit card, no cash. i probably will not come back until things change and quality of T-girls improve. It was definitely a younger crowd....What happened to the good ole days?

[IGY]

We should open our own Club. Illusions 2.0

I won't go in either club because of the photo taking, but I should be able to find a date in a parking lot or nearby street without much problem. I wish these places would respect that I'm a deeply closeted homosexual tranny chaser with no desire for my picture all over the internet.

I didn’t see any photos being taken at Transfix but yes a lot of photos at T Girl Nights. They have crowd shots but also a photo area where you pose for photos.

I’m closeted too but feel somewhat in disguise when I doll up. T Girl Nights is too much fun for me not to take a chance on a crowd photo being posted on their site.

[Jackal]

I've been to Transfix Thursday at least like ten times and not once were there people taking photos. There's zero to worry about.

That sucks. Hopefully the COVID situation will improve and things will change. Clubs can be chaotic. I don't want to hand over my card. I want to pay cash.

[danoblue]

T Girl nights was so much fun!

and I met a very nice girl too!

[golffool]

Cobra was so much fun last week - I'm going again tonight!!

[chi73inla]

I noticed some girls out walking on SM Blvd. & Western last night. It is great to see LA starting to get back to normal.

[kj312]

How are the other places going c frenz and el cid?

[John Jed]

That sucks. Hopefully the COVID situation will improve and things will change. Clubs can be chaotic. I don't want to hand over my card. I want to pay cash.You don’t have to hand over your card; they have self-serve card readers on the bar. But there will be a charge that reads Cobra something or other on your statement and I imagine it’s possible for the bartender or other personnel to see your name during or after the transaction, if that’s your concern.

[kj312]

Any new nights in LA? I noticed the crowd is thinning out at Cobra. Anybody been going to Wednesdays at C Frenz?

Won't judge you too harshly because I used to have so many stupid hangups when I discovered my attraction to trans women nearly 15 years ago now. Thankfully I grew the fuck up and stopped fetishizing them.

I'll say this though. Unless you're a celebrity or an athlete, nobody really cares about you and no one will remember the side of your face in the background of some random pic taken at a nightclub. Even If you are recognized by someone, that person is almost certainly an admirer themself. So :shrug. Don't be a stereotypical chaser, go in, enjoy yourself and buy the girl a drink.

[golffool]

Cobra is always fun on Thursday. Lots of beautiful women.

I've been a deeply closeted homosexual tranny chaser for 48 years. I started getting sucked off in Times Square 1973. I've dated nearly all the major stars over the years--most of them are now dead from the AIDs. Thanks for your advice.

[kj312]

Cobra has a lot of potential. It would be nice to have more nights. Long Beach is a little too far and that place in Reseda is on a Wednesday which isn't the best night. I only went to El Cid one night and not many people showed up. It's also not the best layout inside the place but it has a nice outdoor area.

[Lfw808rar]

I would be interested in hearing peoples thoughts on recent visits to Hamburger Mary's. I went there once when they were next to the waffle place and it was ok. Im not interested in paying... and most of what I saw there were women whose dating profiles said they wanted benefactors.

[kj312]

Is El Cid still going on 2nd Saturday of the month?

[rafepix]

Hello fellow chasers, It's been a while but will be coming to LA/Palm Springs last week of March and was looking for an update of the best TS events. It looks like Transfix is still the best Thursday event and was wondering what Friday and Saturday are like at Club Cobra or if there are better alternatives. I assume there is nothing happening in PS but let me know. Thanks in advance, Rafe!

[greg1521]

Check out TGirl Nights first Saturday of each month in Long Beach. tgirlnights.com

[kj312]

I haven't heard much about the El Cid Saturday's lately. I'm assuming it's not going on anymore. Anything new?

[kj312]

Has anybody been to Abbey during the week? I've only been on Fridays and it seems to be a pretty good crowd.

[kj312]

Anything new going on in LA?
